I’m 73. I asked my doc about the RSV shot and she said “over 75.” Other sources say “Over 60” or “Over 60 if you have co-morbidities such as hypertension, COPD, diabetes, etc.”
So I’m thoroughly confused about it. I’ve never met anybody who got that virus.
I got my senior dose flu shot yesterday, but no RSV shot (and no COVID booster).
CDC recommends everyone ages 75 and older get an RSV vaccine.
CDC recommends adults ages 60–74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease get an RSV vaccine.
CDC recommends…………LMAO
My doctor recommends RSV but when I asked his nurse, “Is it like the COVID jab in any way?”...she hemmed and hawed and wouldn’t answer.
I still don’t have it
“So I’m thoroughly confused about it. I’ve never met anybody who got that virus”
100% of the population will get RSV at some point. So, yes, you have met people who have had it. It is just one of the many respiratory viruses we all suffer through. Probably was considered a “bad cold” back in the day.
